Did you know you can get all of the properties and quantity take-off data of an element with ONE line of code for #IFC? It's as simple as:

ifcopenshell.util.element.get_psets(element)

Our main website is now on the RockPro64 Cluster as well! This mostly concludes our infrastructure move (though there's some file storage left to go...).

Thanks for your patience with any downtime or slowness you have have experienced over the past few hours!

We know many of you are waiting for #PinePhone @ubports CE - it will be shipping very soon. Meanwhile, here are pictures taken the day production wrapped up. We're not going to spoil the phenomenal box design for this CE (by @cibersheep on Twitter) however, pictures don't do it justice.

That's how the Librem 5 performs with all the GPU acceleration in place :) @purism #librem5 #phosh

Did you know? The #BlenderBIM Add-on can now be used to export IFC data in IFCJSON format - perhaps the only BIM program which can do so.

It only took 100 lines of Python code. Join the #OSArch community and don't let proprietary software hold you back!

Friendly reminder: "X as a service" is just a misleading corporate euphemism for "pay forever for not owning it".

"Software as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the software".

"Games as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning games".

"Infrastructure as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the hardware".

And so on.

There is no "cloud", it's just other people's computers

Internet messaging is so broken that FB alone owns 3 incompatible apps. Google has *6*, not counting the ones they canceled: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/05/google-unifies-messenger-teams-plans-more-coherent-vision/

It doesn't have to be this way. Messaging isn't complicated. We solved this more than a decade ago. You have five incompatible messaging apps on your phone because greed drives companies to ignore compatibility and optimize for vendor lock-in. https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/lessons-vendor-lock-messaging

Got the camera working in the #pinephone factorytest image, thanks to megi's patches :D
